The 9^th and 10^th rounds of the FIA WTCC will take place next week in the Czech Republic, at Brno''s Masaryk Circuit.

This is a traditional meeting for the championship, as Brno hosted the European Touring Car Championship from 2002 to 2004 and then the World Touring Car Championship last year. BMW scored 5 victories out of the eight races, Alfa Romeo 2 and Chevrolet 1. The 2006 edition saw Jörg Müller (BMW) and Robert Huff (Chevrolet) sharing the laurels.

The championship arrives in Brno with Andy Priaulx in solo lead with a 2-point margin over Farfus, while Müller slipped to a further 9 points adrift. The best non-BMW driver is Yvan Muller, fourth, 14 points from the leader.
